Looking to mount this scope on an old 1944 Lee Enfield .303 and didn't want to invest a lot of money in an old rifle. Will it hold up?

Based on my experience with this scope, I would have to think it should hold-up well

Seems sturdy enough. I think as long as you're not actively and repeatedly slamming it into walls or metal doors it should hold up fine. If you're concerned you can always get the LMT A2 rear sight, but its also in the $130 range.

I own a couple of these scopes. I have them mounted on low recoil rifles such as a .243 and 5.56. Im not sure how well it could withstand the recoil of a 30-06. sorry

probably yes. Mine is touchy in the ammo load department it maybe due to old spring used.this stock made a 1943 relic that would not group into a accurate rifle at 100 yds with a good scope.

I don't know how this scope will handle the shock of a higher caliber since I put mine on a .17 HMR. I like the scope for the price. Make sure you get high scope mounts because the AO on the bell increases the bell diameter tremendously and if you don't get tall enough mounts you may also have interference with the bolt handle. The optics are very clear except at the very top end (14X) where you'll start seeing some aberration but not too bad. Let's remember...this is not a $600 leupold or $1000 Zeiss but for the money, these are good scopes.

I put it on a riffle that does 3000 GPS. I would probably not recommend this scope because I found it hard to sight it in. But I was using it on a AR 223 so it was hard to see where my rounds were going. It's a cheap scope in my opinion.

It's very sturdy. Have a gunsmith help with the location and make sure you have a bottom tap to tread with. Use blue loc title and you will be good to go. I love my over the bolt rail mount.

Yes, I'm pleased with the scope. Be advised though it is mounted on a 17hmr rifle with low recoil! Just saying!

I have also used this scope on my rem700 in 308. Holds a great zero and has taken a decent amount of abuse. The glass and turrets help up great.

The mount will stand true on a 308. I would suggest that you get a scope that can withstand the recoil.

Yes it is a good scope for the money . The 3030 has a moderate recoil . With the 50 lens you will need high mounts or see thru mounts to install on a lever action rifle

I would use the mounting system found at Henry's web site, http://www.henryrepeating.com/st-scope-mount.cfm. Make sure it is tight and you may want to use a small amount of lock tight to make sure the mounting screws don't come loose. I use the scope on my old Winchester and it handled it with no problems.

I think so, this scope I have mounted on my mini M 14 rifle, using 223 amo, its kicks kind a hard, first time when was mounted it's just fell of the rifle, had to rebolted much tighter than its was before, no damage to the scope and to this day performs perfect, 100 or 200 yards no problems good scope, I don't know how much shock you want to put it through, but for my rifle performs perfect, BJ.

Yes. The scope is actually sprung airgun rated which means it can hold up to pretty serious and eccentric recoil. It can be used on most rifles with no issues.

I can't answer that question right now because I've only shot about 90 rounds of 300 Blackout with it. I would assume they would hold-up because the mount seems very sturdy to me.

I've used one for years and it is extremely durable. I've been hand loading 7.62 and using this scope for years and I've never had an issue. It has been used in the field for decades under horrible conditions and has a great track record. I haven't used it personally w .338 win. mag., but I've done some things to this scope I'd be embarrassed to put into writing and it has always kept zero and functioned correctly.

it should be fine. it's not completely tall enough, but with a scope the worst you might get is a slight blurring of the sight at the bottom of it. most likely you will not see it. I eventually removed the front sight block and but a gas block with a short rail section on, I wanted offset sights so I could tilt the rifle and use iron sights if the shot was to close.
